The Department of Music at the University of Southampton seeks to recruit a full-time permanent Lecturer in Music Education with broad interests in music education and social justice, tenable from 1 September 2022.

Your scholarly commitment to the study of social justice in educational contexts might be located in one or more of a wide range of areas: early years and primary settings, secondary education, instrumental/vocal teaching and/or musical engagement in the community at all age levels. You will have ideas about establishing a promising programme of research appropriate to your level of experience, including clear plans to build an internationally-recognised body of work in the form of publications and bids for funding, mentored by colleagues in a collaborative and supportive academic community. Your ideas for your future development may include contributions to debates on music education and social justice and/or social inequalities (engaging critically with oppressions such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and/or classism in pedagogical contexts). Your methodological perspective may be historical, empirical, ethnographic or interdisciplinary; your scholarly interventions might also take the form of public engagement, performance, community and/or broader social action.

You will join a vibrant academic community in the Department of Music at Southampton, a centre of exceptional research and teaching in musicology, ethnomusicology, performance, music therapy, composition, music technology and music business. Scholarly specialisms include work in: gender, sexuality and queer studies; global music histories; musical institutions; reception; sound studies; opera and musical theatre; music and social inequality; cultural economics; music analysis; critical organology; and global popular music.

You will have experience of innovative research-led teaching and a willingness to work collaboratively to enrich our curriculum in ways that embody values of respect, curiosity and sustainability. You will contribute to teaching and supervision across our taught programmes, in particular on our MMus pathway in Music Education, and join in the team supervision of PhD students, in due course taking on the role of primary supervisor. Teaching responsibilities will include contributions to practical music education and performance modules as well as project supervision. You will have the ability to work with others and be able to adapt to teaching approaches suitable for an effective international student learning experience. You will also contribute to the running of the Department, assuming administrative roles.

As a university we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We particularly welcome applications from women and/or candidates from ethnic minorities who are currently under-represented in our Department.
